Chapter 259 259: A Fateful Re-Encounter [Pt1]



There was silence surrounding Ruri’s head. For the first time, nothing was yelling at her and nothing was causing her discomfort as well. She was as happy and satisfied as one could hope for her to be.

But despite all this, Ruri could not help but feel like something was missing. There was a disconnect with the outside world that was making her feel worried.

And then a touch to her forehead caused Ruri’s sinking feeling to become worse. She felt as if she could not breathe. But she also felt like she could not let the warmth escape her clutches.

“You are doing good, Ruri. You managed to come back to me so there is no need to fight anymore. Allow me to help you out.”

The gentle voice sounded familiar and it brought tears to Ruri’s eyes. She did not even know why or how she knew that voice, but she knew that it was important for her to know this voice.

It was something that had always given her courage and the will to live.

A hesitant touch on Ruri’s face and another on her things felt so solid and grounding. It forced Ruri to be in touch with reality even when she did not want to be.

‘A little more. I want a little more of that warmth.’

The touch started to pull away and Ruri panicked. She did what she had not dared to do until now for that touch to come back - she reached out first and hoped that she would not be rejected.

But Yohan pulled away and Ruri’s disappointment filled her soul. She let out a sad sound but it was swallowed by a fierce pressure on her lips. She was being devoured by Yohan’s kiss and Ruri happily leaned into the feeling.

‘Ah, I missed this so much. No wonder I always felt so cold and lonely all this time.’

……………………..

Yohan touched Ruri slowly to get a response from her. He could feel her consciousness just beneath all the layers of spells that had been cast on her but he was not sure if it would be safe to extract her consciousness from there.

After all, if Ruri did not even have the will to live, then trying to help her would be useless. She needed not to be broken for Yohan to invest in her.

And as cruel as it sounded, Yohan knew he did not have enough time and resources to be wasting on a living doll.

So, when Ruri responded to his kiss by pressing her lips back, Yohan knew that it was not a lost cause. She was still in there, inside Yohan’s body and waiting for her to be rescued.

Yohan’s tongue massaged the inside of Ruri’s mouth and asked her to lend him access.

Yohan had thought that he would have to fight for it, but he did not have to do much in the end. Ruri’s consciousness and her power were slowly rising inside her.

Her eyes, which had looked so lifeless and doll-like before, were suddenly vibrant and full of life. She looked active and ready to engage with him.

“Welcome back Ruri. I hope you are ready for all the pleasure I am about to give you.”

Yohan promised her as he pulled Ruri’s face close. His tongue took a lick out of Ruri’s neck and she flinched. She wanted to get away from the cold and slimy feeling on her neck but it felt good at the same time.

Ruri did not reply to Yohan but he could feel her interest all the same. Her body was pushing against Yohan’s and her tongue was hesitantly coming up to respond to him.

Yohan’s hands moved down Ruri’s body to feel the change. It was much more wrought and scar-filled than before. They were all the marks Ruri had earned to survive.

Ruri subtly tried to push her body and scars away from Yohan but he did not budge. Instead, he took hold of Ruri’s face and brought it in front of his face.

“You do not get to look away from me. Your body is mine from the very first time you surrendered to me. So do not try and deprive me of what is mine.”

Yohan warned as he held Ruri’s face in front of his.

Ruri looked a little stunned and taken aback but she quickly nodded in agreement with Yohan’s words. She also decided that she was thinking a little too much and she should just give the command up.

Yohan smiled against Ruri’s lips and she went still. Her eyes looked at Yohan questionably but he did not say anything.

He just raised his hands and tentacles raised out of the ground. These were the same ones that used to belong to the queen. Yohan had taken control of them when the queen lost the realm key.

Now these tentacles were a part of him, just as the realm key was.

The slimy appendages snuck all over Ruri’s body and beneath her shirt. It caressed her chest and her breasts, making them sticky to the touch.

Their liquid also had a slight burning effect that caused Ruri to arch her back in mixed pain and pleasure. She could not get away from the feeling of being groped.

The tighter those appendages stuck to Ruri’s body, the more she felt her mind slip away from her. She did not know where her pleasure started and where her nerves ended.

Not to mention, the feeling of Yohan’s hands on her body was electrifying for her. It did not allow Ruri to feel anything but that touch.

“You are doing good. Just focus on me for now and do not think about anything else. You do not need anyone but me in your life anyway.”

Keith’s voice was full of compelling magic but Ruri was already a victim of his ways. Surrendering to him one more time would not matter to her at all.

So, Ruri relaxed her body and met Yohan’s lips when he kissed Ruri. She was surrendering her everything to him and him alone. And somehow, it felt right to do and Ruri could feel her yearning boiling over when she touched Keith.
